Activision and Beenox have released a new gameplay walkthrough video for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The video takes a look at the next-gen version of the movie tie-in and the various new mechanics being employed for the upcoming sequel.

One of the big changes to the game series is that web-slinging is now mapped to the controller's triggers, so if you want to web swing from a building to the right, you'll need to hit the right trigger, and then left trigger to swing left.

Spidey's cell phone will also act as a menu and map, while also displaying your progress and charting your status a either a 'Hero' or 'Menace', which in turn bring about their own series of consequences. This time around, you'll also unmask and play as Peter Parker, visiting home to see Aunt May and sifting through the array of costumes in your wardrobe.

Taking you through Manhattan, the new walkthrough video also includes a slice of combat and some other insights into Spidey's latest outing. Check out the new trailer below. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is out on April 29th, 2014 in North America and May 2nd in Europe.
